Right now, stress levels are through the stratosphere and tensions are running high \u2013 so why not consider taking some time out to pamper yourself or your loved one at the Granny Mouse Country House and Spa?<\/p>\n
Many people have likened the pandemic to wartime! Interestingly, the word spa stems from the Latin phrase \u201csalus per aquam\u201d<\/em> \u2013 meaning health from water – and was used by Roman soldiers to treat aching muscles and wounds from war. Spas, healing waters, hydrotherapy and hot springs date back thousands of years and were used for exactly what we all need right now \u2013 a little rejuvenation and relaxation as we wrestle with the prospect of another difficult year!<\/p>\n It\u2019s interesting to note that, a few decades ago, it wasn\u2019t heard of for men to go to a spa or beauty salon –\u00a0and, in the beginning, spas only accommodated men. Ironic isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n That\u2019s why the nice thing about spas is that they didn\u2019t remain as the best means of recuperating from battle even if tackling life itself sometimes feels just like that. In fact, the first real deal beauty luxury spa, called the Red Door Salon, was opened by Elizabeth Arden in 1910. Treatments included facials and manicures and it began what we experience in the modern day. In the 1980s, it became the pampering session for wealthy women who hosted their special social occasions, birthdays, and hen parties.<\/p>\n Since then, demand for spa and so-called beauty treatments has grown and changed. Gone are the days of just accommodating only the super wealthy. Spas now offer both relaxation and health and beauty benefits for an extremely wide range of clients, extending from women to men, teenagers and even little kids.<\/p>\n At spas, actions speak louder than words. So, with Valentine\u2019s Day on the horizon, why not arrange a couple\u2019s treatment as a part of a romantic getaway? Or arrange that couple\u2019s getaway to reconnect, even after Valentine\u2019s Day is over. Book now and enjoy a couple\u2019s experience with your loved one at Granny Mouse Country House and Spa.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1754027\/pdf\/v061p00273.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n
